Duarte Elite Flag Football – Academy & NFL FLAG League
The Duarte Elite Flag Football Academy and our official NFL FLAG League work hand-in-hand to give youth athletes the best possible introduction and pathway in the game of football—taught in a safe, non-contact format.
Our Academy focuses on skill development, teaching the fundamentals of football while building teamwork, discipline, and confidence in a positive, encouraging environment. Through training sessions and organized scrimmages, players sharpen their abilities, learn game concepts, and gain valuable on-field experience. Whether your child is brand new to the sport or already plays, we provide a structured, fun way to grow as an athlete.
Players in the Academy also have the chance to take the next step by joining the Duarte Elite NFL FLAG League. As part of the largest youth flag football program in the country, league participants can compete locally and earn opportunities to play in regional NFL FLAG tournaments, as well as other major events like HARD COUNT competitions.
Join us to develop skills, compete at a high level, and experience the excitement of the game.
